About

The enchanting novel by Paulo Coelho has a devoted following all around the world.

This narrative about an Andalusian shepherd lad named Santiago who goes from his birthplace in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of gold buried in the Pyramids is brilliant in its simplicity and wisdom.

Santiago has a dream about finding a treasure in the pyramids of Egypt.

A gypsy woman and an old man claiming to be a mysterious king advise him to pursue it.

"To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation," the old man tells him.

"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

This timeless and entertaining story, exotic yet easy, breaks down the journey we all take to discover the most meaningful jewels in our life into natural and magical steps.

It's about the faith, strength, and courage we all possess to pursue the complicated road of a Personal Legend, a path charted by destiny's enigmatic magnet but veiled by distractions.

Santiago demonstrates how, along the journey, we learn to trust our instincts, read the seemingly inconspicuous indications, and recognise that, as we seek to realise a dream, it will seek us out if we let it.
